Robert is a base-game bachelor in Bloomfield Village. Birthday: Spring 6. Favorite gift: Fish au Gratin. The first heart event requires 1 heart after the prologue. The tables below give Neoseeker's reported preferences and event triggers, recorded on 18 October 2026.
Birthday and gifts
| Detail | Reported value |
|---|---|
| Birthday | Spring 6 |
| Favorite | Fish au Gratin |
| Liked gifts | Cherry, Peach Jam |
| Disliked gifts | Coffee Fruit, Coffee, Dark Chocolate |
| Source | Neoseeker: gifts and birthdays |
These are item-specific preferences, not blanket rules for crops, flowers or fish. Neoseeker reports one gift per person per day; liked gifts give twice the friendship of a neutral gift, favorites three times. On a birthday, a non-disliked gift counts as a favorite. This is guide-sourced data, not our own playtest.
Six heart events: requirements, locations and times
The first event opens after the prologue, not simply after meeting Robert. Neoseeker says each new heart level sends a letter and further friendship waits for that event. Read the letter, track its request and follow the musical-note marker.
Events 1 and 3 start by talking to the candidate. The other rows are meeting triggers, not the destination of every scene. For events 5 and 6, first give a Token of Love after event 4.
| Event | Requirement | Trigger location / action | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart event 1 | 1 heart; after the prologue | Talk to your childhood friend | No separate time window listed |
| Heart event 2 | 2 hearts | Bloomfield park | 06:00-23:00 |
| Heart event 3 | 3 hearts | Talk to your childhood friend | No separate time window listed |
| Heart event 4 | 4 hearts | The mayor's house | 18:00-23:00 |
| Heart event 5 | 5 hearts; Token of Love | Forest entrance outside Bloomfield | 06:00-23:00 |
| Heart event 6 | 6 hearts; Token of Love | Bloomfield Village entrance | 06:00-23:00 |
Source: Neoseeker: Bloomfield heart events, read on 18 October 2026. Neoseeker says bad weather cancels most outdoor meetings; events 1-4 wait during festivals in this candidate's town, while events 5-6 wait during festivals anywhere. A row without a time is not proof of 24-hour availability.
Where to find Robert outside events
Bloomfield Village is the sourced home location. The event table gives specific meeting points and windows, not a daily walking timetable. Weekday, weekend, rainy-day and post-story routines were not verified in the sources checked on 18 October 2026.
Background and main-story appearances
Robert is the mayor’s son in Bloomfield and the childhood friend who hands you the handmade hoe if you are not playing him.
If you choose Carol, Robert stays in town as a bachelor. If you choose Robert, he is you, and he drops off the marriage list.
Rules that apply to every candidate, including Robert
- You can marry any candidate regardless of your gender.
- You cannot marry the protagonist you are playing. The other protagonist remains eligible: Robert when you play Carol, or Carol when you play Robert. That leaves 9 eligible partners from the 10-name roster.
- The ceremony itself waits until after the staff roll.
- Neoseeker lists a Token of Love after heart event 4, followed by events 5 and 6. Tiny crafts it at the Harvest Goddess Statue Altar using 10 Red Rose and 10 Diamond; the recipe unlocks the next morning after anyone's fourth event, provided Harvest Goddess Chapter 1 is complete.
- For a proposal, Neoseeker requires heart event 6, a Level 3 house, the Blue Feather from the end of Harvest Goddess Chapter 2, and no prior proposal to someone else. Hold the feather and give it to your lover.
Source checks
Neoseeker’s full Bloomfield romance page, read on 18 October 2026, gives Carol or Robert one shared childhood-friend entry. These NPC details apply to Robert when you play Carol; they do not replace the player-selected birthday. These details retain the earlier source reading from this date. A later HTTP recheck of the six Neoseeker references returned security-check pages (403), so that pass is not an independent confirmation.
